"The villagers have a very solid life today."

"The villagers have a very solid life today"
"What do you grow at home? Are you busy enough?"
"Be busy, the old couple will do it together."
"Are there any interplanted beans in the ground?"
"No interplanting this year."
This is September 2021. General Secretary Xi Jinping walked into the field and had a conversation with villager Gao Zhizhou during his inspection and investigation in Gaoxigou Village, Yinzhou Street, Mizhi County, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province.
The general secretary inspected the growth of millet, millet, and corn, and pulled together with the villagers who were working in the fields.
Hearing the villagers say, "It's a good day, and now you can eat white noodles, rice, and meat." The general secretary smiled and said, "It's not that white noodles and pork are rare now, but sometimes it's good to eat whole grains."
"The vicissitudes of life, the villagers have a very solid life today." The general secretary said with emotion.
The general secretary held up the heavy ears of grain and observed the growth.
The corn stalks next to it had corn cobs, and the general secretary reached out and squeezed them to see if the corn was ripe.
Recalling the scenes at that time, villager Gao Zhizhou said with emotion: "The general secretary can understand our northern Shaanxi dialect. He understands the life of farmers!"
Along the ridge, the general secretary inspected food affairs, asked people's feelings, and his kind words warmed people's hearts.
In July 2013, in Ezhou, Hubei, General Secretary Xi Jinping walked into the rice breeding base, pulled up a rice seedling to check the tillering situation, and praised it as "very strong".
In May 2014, in Zhangshi Town, Weishi County, Henan Province, seeing the gratifying growth of wheat in the fields, General Secretary Xi Jinping said: "We are all from crops, and the wheat is growing so well, I am as pleased as you are. In the words of fellow villagers Said that this year's buns can be eaten."
In October 2021, in Dongying, Shandong, it was the soybean harvest season. General Secretary Xi Jinping, who was inspecting here, walked into a demonstration field, leaned down and picked a bean pod, twisted it in a pinch, carefully inspected the quality, and took a soybean.

This scene made Luo Shouyu, the person in charge of agricultural technology on the side, both surprised and kind: "This is an action only for farmers."
General Secretary Xi Jinping has a profound "peasant complex" and once said, "Wherever I go, I will always be the son of the Yellow Earth."
In October 2015, General Secretary Xi Jinping recalled in a speech: "In the late 1960s, when I was less than 16 years old, I came to a small village in northern Shaanxi from Beijing to become a farmer." "I was with the villagers at the time. The purpose of hard work is to make life better.”
During the National People's Congress in May 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping said: "Our generation has such a complex that we must help our common people, especially our farmers."
The state has successively introduced policies and measures to help farmers.
In August this year, the central government issued a fund of 10 billion yuan to once again issue a one-time agricultural subsidy to the actual grain farmers.
So far, in 2022, the central government has issued a total of 40 billion yuan of subsidy funds in three batches.
According to the latest data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, in 2021, the per capita disposable income of rural residents will reach 18,931 yuan, a real increase of 9.7%.
"In the future, when you go to work in the mountains, you will carry a golden pole!"
"In the future, when you go to work in the mountains, you will carry a golden pole!"
In May 2020, when visiting members of the economic community who participated in the CPPCC meeting, General Secretary Xi Jinping mentioned a special word - "golden pole".
The general secretary said that in those days on the loess land in northern Shaanxi, the villagers told him that their greatest expectation was to "carry a golden pole for work in the future". "I understand this 'golden pole' as agricultural modernization."
Seeds are the foundation of agricultural modernization.
General Secretary Xi Jinping has emphasized many times, "Chinese people should take their rice bowls into their own hands, and they should also pack their own food."

In December 2020, the Central Economic Work Conference proposed to carry out technical breakthroughs in the "stuck neck" of seed sources, determined to fight a turnaround in the seed industry.
In July 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized when presiding over the 20th meeting of the Central Deepening Reform Commission that the national seed industry must be promoted, the safety of seed sources must be elevated to a strategic height related to national security, and efforts must be concentrated to solve problems and make up for it. Weaknesses, strong advantages, and risk control.
If seeds are the foundation, then cultivated land is the lifeblood.
The general secretary attaches great importance to the protection of cultivated land. He warned: "Farmland is farmland, and it can only be used for the development of planting industry, especially food production." The strictest cultivated land protection system." "Protect cultivated land as you would protect giant pandas."

A series of measures have been introduced, such as starting the seed industry, protecting arable land, and improving the level of agricultural science and technology, and the Chinese people's jobs are getting more and more secure.
During this year's National People's Congress, General Secretary Xi Jinping listed a set of data: After hard work, my country has raised nearly one-fifth of the world's population with 9% of the world's arable land and 6% of the world's freshwater resources. So full that today more than 1.4 billion people have eaten well, which effectively answers the question of "who will feed China".
According to a report by the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2021, my country's grain output will reach 1,365.7 billion kilograms, and the per capita grain output will reach 483.5 kilograms.
The latest agricultural situation dispatch of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs shows that the area of autumn grain is expected to increase steadily this year.
At present, 246 million mu of autumn grain has been harvested, and the progress is nearly 20%.
Autumn grain output accounts for about 75% of the total annual grain output.
Right now, a bumper harvest is in sight in my country's main autumn grain producing areas.
"Promote the realization of more affluent rural areas,
A happier life and a more beautiful country"
To rejuvenate the nation, the countryside must be rejuvenated.
Today, China has achieved a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, and has won the battle against poverty historically.
